Nothing else matters
Nothing else matters
By Mike Davis, Th.M.
Yesterday...
After the dog's bath.
My wife ambled her way to the garage door.
I let our dog down her ramp
And out of the car.
I watched our dog
Follow her Momma
To the door.
While my wife unlocked the door
I watched them both
From the car.
Both my girls.
The Beauties I live for.
My feelings in that moment
Were all gratitude
For it's simplicity
Nothing else mattered.
No event could eclipse
That picture in my mind.
That was all there was
Right then.
The expanse of my World,
Was funneled
Into 63 cubic feet.
But those 63 cubic feet
Were more expansive
Than all the Universe.
Only a fleeting cluster of photons,
Filtered into an optic nerve,
Gratitude distilled in a millisecond.
